Abstract

The apparatus for controlled inhalation of therapeutic aerosols comprises a unit for setting the patient and/or aerosol parameters for the inhalation process, and a unit for administering the aerosol according to the set parameters.

Description

Dispositivo para la inhalación controlada de aerosoles terapéuticos.Device for controlled inhalation of therapeutic sprays

La invención se refiere a un dispositivo para la inhalación controlada de aerosoles terapéuticos y en especial para la dosimetría individual de aerosoles inhalables.The invention relates to a device for the controlled inhalation of therapeutic aerosols and especially for the individual dosimetry of inhalable aerosols.

En la inhalación de medicamentos en forma de aerosoles varios factores determinan el depósito del principio activo en el pulmón. El depósito del principio activo en el pulmón depende de las propiedades de las partículas del principio activo a inhalar, como por ejemplo tamaño de partícula, carga eléctrica e higroscopicidad, de la velocidad de inhalación (es decir del flujo respiratorio) del paciente y de la profundidad de inhalación (es decir del volumen respiratorio) de una inspiración del paciente a tratar.In the inhalation of medications in the form of various factors aerosols determine the deposit of the principle active in the lung. The deposit of the active substance in the lung depends on the properties of the particles of the active substance at inhale, such as particle size, electrical charge and hygroscopicity, of the inhalation rate (ie flow respiratory) of the patient and the depth of inhalation (it is say of the respiratory volume) of an inspiration of the patient to try.

En distintos medicamentos que deben administrarse por inhalación en forma de aerosol la cantidad del principio activo inhalado debe dosificarse exactamente, pues una sobredosificación eventual para los pacientes sería crítica. En los métodos habituales de inhalación ciertamente se ajusta el tamaño de partícula al medicamento a administrar, pero el paciente posee respecto a su patrón respiratorio una gran libertad, de modo que la dosificación individual puede oscilar muy fuertemente. En un proceso de inhalación débil (inhalación plana, rápida) se administra demasiado poco medicamento, mientras que una inhalación demasiado fuerte (inhalación profunda, lenta) tiene por consecuencia una sobredosificación.In different medications to be administered by inhalation in aerosol form the amount of the active substance inhaled must be dosed exactly, as an overdose Eventually for patients it would be critical. In the usual methods of inhalation certainly adjusts the particle size to medication to be administered, but the patient has respect to his respiratory pattern a great freedom, so that the dosage individual can swing very strongly. In a process of weak inhalation (flat, fast inhalation) is given too much little medication while an inhalation too strong (deep, slow inhalation) results in a overdosing

El documento WO 92/07599 se refiere al proceso de calibración durante la fabricación de un inhalador de tipo MDI.WO 92/07599 refers to the process of Calibration during the manufacture of an MDI type inhaler.

El documento EP-B-0 587 380 describe un dispositivo de suministro de medicamento que reconoce una inhalación y administra el medicamento respectivamente solo durante una inhalación, pero el paciente tiene la libertad de respirar discrecionalmente. Esta libertad varía además de paciente a paciente, lo que conduce a una considerable variabilidad en la dosificación. El documento EP-A-0 965 355 describe un inhalador controlado con un volumen de aerosol predeterminado y una limitación del flujo de inhalación. En este inhalador se ajusta el flujo respiratorio y el volumen respiratorio en límites precisos, pero este inhalador no debe ajustarse como producto másico a los presupuestos concretos respecto a la función pulmonar de un individuo concreto. Para el volumen respiratorio y el flujo respiratorio se ajustan parámetros que son aceptables para una gran parte de los pacientes, pero no posibilitan ninguna aportación óptima de principio activo para los distintos pacien-
tes.
EP-B-0 587 380 describes a medication delivery device that recognizes an inhalation and administers the medication respectively only during an inhalation, but the patient has the freedom to breathe discretionary. This freedom also varies from patient to patient, which leads to considerable variability in dosage. EP-A-0 965 355 describes a controlled inhaler with a predetermined aerosol volume and a limitation of inhalation flow. In this inhaler the respiratory flow and the respiratory volume are adjusted to precise limits, but this inhaler should not be adjusted as a mass product to the specific budgets regarding the lung function of a particular individual. For the volume of the respiratory and the respiratory flow, parameters that are acceptable for a large part of the patients are adjusted, but do not allow any optimal contribution of active ingredient to the different patients.
tes.

Por consiguiente en la práctica se presentan los siguientes problemas:Therefore, in practice, the following problems:

1.one.
Muchos pacientes obstructivos graves ya no pueden aplicar un flujo respiratorio determinado necesario, que deberían generar sin embargo para una administración óptima del aerosol;Many serious obstructive patients already they cannot apply a necessary determined respiratory flow, which they should generate however for optimal administration of the aerosol;

2.2.
Muchos de estos pacientes tan solo pueden inhalar volúmenes muy limitados, lo que ante todo es el caso en pacientes con enfisema pulmonar o pacientes con volúmenes pulmonares muy pequeños;Many of these patients just they can inhale very limited volumes, which is first of all the case in patients with pulmonary emphysema or patients with volumes very small lungs;

3.3.
Cada paciente inhala con distinta velocidad y volumen, de modo que se producen fuertes oscilaciones de la dosis de medicamento que llega al pulmón.Every patient inhales with different speed and volume, so that produce strong oscillations of the dose of medication that arrives to the lung

In this way it can be adapted according to the invention the inhalation device individually to the possibilities of patient.

Según una primera forma de realización se proporcionan los parámetros individuales a un medio de memoria como los que pueden adquirirse bajo las denominaciones de SmartCard, FlashCard o SmartLabel. Los parámetros individuales se archivan en el medio de memoria por ejemplo tras una medición de la función pulmonar actual del paciente (por ejemplo por el médico de cabecera). Este, según una primera forma de realización, se inserta entonces por el paciente (en casa) en el dispositivo de inhalación, después de lo cual se leen los datos individuales. De modo alternativo el medio de memoria se introduce en un dispositivo separado desde el que a partir de los parámetros individuales se trasmiten al dispositivo de inhalación. Según otra forma de realización alternativa está previsto un módem, de modo que por parte del medico de tratamiento o la institución asistencial se suministran al dispositivo de inhalación a través de una línea de datos (por ejemplo línea telefónica) los parámetros individuales.According to a first embodiment, they provide the individual parameters to a memory medium like those that can be purchased under the SmartCard denominations, FlashCard or SmartLabel. Individual parameters are archived in the memory medium for example after a function measurement current pulmonary of the patient (for example by the doctor of Headboard). This, according to a first embodiment, is inserted then by the patient (at home) in the inhalation device, after which the individual data is read. So alternatively the memory medium is inserted into a device separated from which from the individual parameters transmitted to the inhalation device. According to another form of alternative embodiment a modem is provided, so that by part of the treatment doctor or the healthcare institution supplied to the inhalation device through a line of data (eg telephone line) parameters individual.

Según otra forma de realización está previsto un mecanismo para la introducción manual de los parámetros individuales, por ejemplo mediante teclas correspondientes. Como alternativa, en el dispositivo de inhalación conforme a la invención se ajustan los parámetros individuales por medio de reguladores manuales o conmutadores manuales.According to another embodiment, a mechanism for manually entering parameters individual, for example by corresponding keys. How alternatively, in the inhalation device according to the invention the individual parameters are adjusted by means of regulators manuals or manual switches.

Los parámetros individuales del paciente y/o los parámetros del aerosol actúan por consiguiente manual o automáticamente (por ejemplo a través de un correspondiente control de válvulas) sobre la dosificación individual del aerosol o de los aerosoles. Como la dependencia de la deposición de un aerosol en determinadas zonas del pulmón en función del tamaño de partícula del principio activo, del volumen respiratorio y del flujo respiratorio es conocida, puede por consiguiente predeterminarse substancialmente conforme a la invención la deposición de aerosol en el pulmón. El paciente experimenta la maniobra respiratoria ajustada como agradable puesto que está adaptada a sus posibilidades.The individual parameters of the patient and / or the aerosol parameters act accordingly manual or automatically (for example through a corresponding control of valves) on the individual dosage of the spray or aerosol sprays. As the dependence of the deposition of an aerosol in certain areas of the lung depending on the particle size of the active substance, respiratory volume and respiratory flow is known, can therefore be predetermined substantially according to the invention aerosol deposition in the lung. He patient experiences the adjusted breathing maneuver as nice since it is adapted to your possibilities.

Preferiblemente, la maniobra respiratoria respectivamente realizada por el paciente sobre el medio de memoria del dispositivo de inhalación se archiva, de modo que tras un cierto periodo de tratamiento puede llevarse a cabo un control de la aplicación.Preferably, the respiratory maneuver respectively performed by the patient on the memory medium of the inhalation device is archived, so that after a certain treatment period a control of the application.

Además, preferiblemente el medio de memoria puede programarse de nuevo para proporcionar en caso de variaciones en la función respiratoria del paciente parámetros correspondientemente adaptados para la correcta maniobra respiratoria.In addition, preferably the memory medium can programmed again to provide in case of variations in the Respiratory function of the patient parameters correspondingly adapted for the correct respiratory maneuver.

Preferiblemente, con el dispositivo de inhalación conforme a la invención se impide una sobredosificación, por ejemplo predeterminando un tiempo de acción o un bloqueo de acción, por ejemplo en el medio de memoria. Esto impide una activación del dispositivo de inhalación por el paciente en tanto no haya transcurrido el tiempo necesario entre dos inhalaciones sucesivas. Preferiblemente, el medio de memoria sirve también para la protocolización de errores. Por ejemplo se protocoliza si se presenta una elevada desviación de la presión de nebulización de un valor nominal o si la presión de nebulización necesaria no ha podido establecerse. Además se protocoliza en el medio de memoria preferiblemente una eventual desconexión de seguridad en caso de una presión demasiado elevada en la boquilla (presión de insuflación). Además, es preferida la protocolización de una desviación demasiado elevada del flujo (bien del flujo de nebulización del aerosol o del flujo auxiliar del aire adicional suministrado al aire de nebulización o de la suma de ambos flujos) o de un aviso de error cuando no ha podido establecerse uno de los mencionados flujos para la inhalación. Preferiblemente se protocoliza también una interrupción de la inhalación del paciente.Preferably, with the inhalation device an overdose is prevented according to the invention, for example predetermining an action time or an action lock, by example in the middle of memory. This prevents an activation of the inhalation device by the patient as long as there is no after the necessary time between two successive inhalations. Preferably, the memory medium also serves the protocol of errors. For example it is protocolized if it has a high deviation from the fogging pressure of a nominal value or if the necessary fogging pressure could not settle. In addition it is protocolized in the memory medium preferably a possible safety shutdown in case of a pressure too high at the nozzle (insufflation pressure). In addition, the protocolization of a deviation too much is preferred high flow rate (either from the spray mist flow or from the auxiliary flow of the additional air supplied to the air of nebulization or the sum of both flows) or an error message when one of the aforementioned flows has not been established for inhalation Preferably, a interruption of patient inhalation.

Preferiblemente también se archiva en el medio de memoria el nombre del medicamento que se va a inhalar.Preferably it is also archived in the middle of memory the name of the medication to be inhaled.
